[disclosures]

[Rebecca's eyes are red, she's pacing outside of Akechi's door and waiting for the others to show up. In her arms are two collections of fairy tales. She can't talk she can't fix Natsuo this time around. There's nothing she can do for him now.

I said that's fucking impossible.

[he raises his voice, irritation lacing every word. he denies it, but he also feels like Rebecca wouldn't lie to him about something this important]

[ She... Throws the book directly at his head. You fuck! You think she'd just say that to get a rise out of him! She doesn't give a damn about how he's feeling. He needs to get himself together and accept the reality they're living in. ]

[doublecrows]

[he growls, voice low and expression wrinkled in a snarl]

. . . you aren't lying.

Someone was-- someone was really stupid enough to kill him, of all people.

[Her expression goes even more annoyed.
